OUTLOOK
It feels as though fall is here and with it salmon season is ramping up. It looks as though we will see solid weather for the rest of the week and then some possible rain early next week. This is all good news for fishing.
On the saltwater front good waves of chinook are pushing into the Fraser mouth and Capilano every day. Some tides have been challenging but pretty much every day has turned on at some point and our boats as well as a number of customers have been putting up good numbers. For those of you who enjoy fishing the Cap be sure to read Jason’s report below and provide your input to the Port of Vancouver in their ongoing consultation re: the future of that fishery.
On the freshwater front Alex has been out to the Vedder and reports that all 4 major species of salmon are pushing up the river. We had good coho reports as well as some chinook reports. The pinks are getting coloured but they are still biting. Check out his report for details.
Guys are finally hitting the Fraser bar fishing and also sturgeon fishing is picking up. We have more details below on that front as well.
The Skagit should be fishing well right now. We have not heard any reports but with cool nights and relatively warm days the fishing will be good. Matt has all the details in his report for this week.
On the Capilano we are hearing of some fish every time they open the dam and we are also close to the time we want to starting looking at the Harrison and Stave. We have details on all these river systems in the freshwater section below.
The Squamish is in transition from pink season to chum and coho season but we have already heard some early coho reports and the Trout fishing has been very solid. Matt hit the water for some scouting and though scouting and casting was the focus they hooked a number of good fishing. Check out Jordan’s Squamish Report for info.
GOOD LUCK!
